WUDA PRODUCTS: CREATIVE GIFTS, HOME ACCESSORIES, AND FURNITURE
I design, prototype, and manufacture home accessories and furniture. I am interested in making products that 1) blur the line between sculptural form and utlitarian function, 2) allow for flexibility in installation and configuration through modularity, 3) provide products that are well-made and can be passed on from one generation to another, 4) are interactive by inviting the user to create and explore patterns and/or express their individual style, and 5) provide a pure expression of materiality, technique, and form. Two primary influences on this work are Japanese wood working and carpentry, and Friedrich Froebel‘s “gifts“ used as a fundamental component of his original kindergarten philosophy. I also consider my products as “gifts“ that will spark the user’s imagination and inspire creativity. My gifts are born out of innate human desires: finding and making patterns while striving to understand the world we live in through representation and abstraction.

To Quote Froebel:

“Humans are creative beings. What separates us from other life forms is that we alter our environment. More than simple tool building, our brains allow us to visualize in 3-D and imagine a different future. True education must help children to understand their true nature as creative beings.“
